Professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University of Medicine, Kay Redfield Jamison is the author of the definitive book on bipolar disorder, “An Unquiet Mind,” and many other acclaimed books on mental health and artistic creativity. In “Fires in the Dark,” Jamison considers the age-old quest for relief from psychological pain and the role of the exceptional healer in the journey back to health. From the trauma of the battlefields of the twentieth century, to those who are grieving, depressed, or with otherwise unquiet minds, to her own experience with bipolar illness, Jamison demonstrates how remarkable psychotherapy and other treatments can be when done well.
